contents This paper studies a variant of the rate-distortion problem motivated by task-oriented semantic communication and distributed learning systems, where $M$ correlated sources are independently encoded for a central decoder. The decoder has access to correlated side information in addition to the messages received from the encoders and aims to recover a latent random variable under a given distortion constraint, rather than recovering the sources themselves. We characterize the exact rate-distortion function for the case where the sources are conditionally independent given the side information. Furthermore, we develop a distributed Blahut-Arimoto (BA) algorithm to numerically compute the rate-distortion function. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in calculating the rate-distortion region.
